Jenny is our featured pet for this month. She is a bassett hound mix but is smaller than your typical bassett. She may have some dachshund mixed in there too. She came to us pregnant and has since weaned her babies. She is a great dog. Housebroken, crate trained, leash trained and gets along well with other dogs. She will make any family a great addition to their home!

News...
Happy Birthday to Us!
In April, we will be celebrating our 2nd birthday. Yes, that's right ALAAT will be two years old. These years have brought us some ups and some downs. But, we have hung in there and have been pretty successful since our inception. We have had a hand in rescuing nearly 500 animals. We personally did not adopt out but 300 of those rescued animals. The rest was the result of helping others. We crossposted many animals for shelters and individuals and have been very successful in helping them find homes for their animals. We want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ himself for our success. We also want to thank you for allowing the Lord to work through you in helping us. We hope that the Lord will continue to bless this little rescue but most of all we pray that he will bless you!
A Litter At A Time Rescue wishes that everyone would spay or neuter their pet. There are so many unwanted animals in the shelters across America. Please spay or neuter your pet. It could mean that you save a life!
Who We Are...
A Litter At A Time Rescue is made up of individuals that have one goal, one purpose: that is to fix what is broken. In our case it is broken hearts of the wounded animals that have been cast aside into shelters. These animals were abandoned without a chance to have a family to love them. We take in these babies, we love them, hug them and kiss them. All of our animals are in foster homes where they get the attention they deserve.
Adopting a friend...
All adoptions must be approved. An application must be completed, a vet reference will be checked and a home visit will be required. This is to make sure that the new home and the animal is a good match. An adoption contract must be signed. This assures that if the adoption does not work out for any reason the animal will be returned to A Litter At A Time Rescue. There will be an adoption donation for all animals. This donation pays for the vetting done to the animal before it is adopted. This usually includes shots, deworming, spaying or neutering, and a rabies shot. We do provide out-of-state adoptions.
A Litter At A Time Rescue animals are cared for by these rescue friendly vets:
Animal House Veterinary Clinic, Harpersville, AL
Main Street Animal Clinic, Trussville, AL
Caldwell Mill Animal Clinic, Hoover, AL
Alford Avenue Veterinary Clinic, Hoover, AL
Vulcan Park Animal Care, Homewood, AL
Oporto Animal Clinic, Birmingham, AL
We would just like to give a special thanks to all those who work at these veterinary clinics. You guys are wonderful, we thank you and we know the animals thank you from the bottom of their hearts for the help and loving care you give them!
Coming to Visit Us!
A Litter At A Time Rescue does not have a facility. All animals are fostered in individual homes where they are loved and cared for by a family. ALAAT is a small group of individuals who are trying to give as many puppies and kittens a chance at life rather than be destroyed. Our aim is to provide homes for these animals as well as preventing overpopulation.

Madigan's Story
Madigan, an Irish Wolfhound, was what his owner called "my miniature wolfhound." Madigan at 10 months of age was about the size of a golden retriever. If you know anything about IW's then you know they are much larger than a golden. Madigan's vet did exploratory surgery and discovered that he had more things wrong with him on the inside than just some stunted growth on the outside. So Madigan's owner decided not to let him wake up.
Why are we telling you about Madigan? It's simple. Madigan taught more of life's lessons to us in his little short life than one human could have done in a whole lifetime. He taught many of us patience. He taught us to bear our pains and go on. Suck it up! We learned through the surgery that Madigan had been in a lot of pain. Did he ever whimper, whine or complain? No. He continued everyday without ever showing how much he was hurting. He inspired his owner to get up every day despite her rheumatoid arthritis. He taught us a lot. So we wanted to honor our fallen hero!
If you would like to donate in Madigan's name to help save an animal. Please click on the donate button below. These donations will be used only for animals with debilitating illnesses.
